My summer internship
Cosmo
“I can’t think of a reason not to apply to Oracle. There’s nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
After joining as an intern, Cosmo found that Oracle was ready to deliver real skills training on the job. “Asking questions, learning, and problem solving—using all these skills lead me to gain skills in software engineering, architecture, debugging, and even some basics like getting familiar with Git and Jira.”
Cosmo found that his aspirations were well-supported by his teammates. “I think my team was one of the coolest and most diverse,” he shares. “It was great to be around so many people who lead such interesting lives and all the while knew so much about our work and could teach me.”
Daniel
“I started as an intern and quickly moved into a more senior position based on the trust and respect of my manager.”
As an intern Daniel started a small side-project based on a data science theory he was developing. It had the potential to accelerate the process of exploring and gaining insights from data. His idea soon gathered momentum and became the successful product now known as Oracle Labs Data Studio.
“In the last three years I’ve worked on this project, I’ve moved from being the only developer to having a team of 10 plus employees,” Daniel shares. “My recipe for success at Oracle is to be a team player, while still speaking up,” he advises. “Don’t be scared to share your ideas with colleagues, or have discussions with more senior employees. You’re as much of a member of the team as anyone else is. Your opinion is valued by everyone at Oracle.”
Landry
“Every intern’s contribution is highly valued, that’s just the culture at Oracle—everybody matters.”
Landry’s a third year PhD student in electrical engineering. He connected with Oracle at a conference for the National Society of Black Engineers and is now one of our first virtual interns.
“At first when the internship was moved to the virtual format due to the pandemic, I was a bit nervous. But I was so lucky to have very amazing people on my team and we connected really well. My manager and mentor are so cool and so supportive of my work, and this gives me the confidence and drive to perform even better.”
Landry feels he’s getting the same meaningful, hands-on experience he set out to. “My experience as an intern so far has been really satisfying. Mostly because I got to work on a real-life project that aligned with my PhD research interest, but also because of the immense support I get from my mentors and manager.”
Tiffany
“My internship gave me real confidence in my career as an aspiring product manager and designer.”
Tiffany joined Oracle for a virtual technical internship with the Product Lifecycle Management team. Her team is responsible for product development and Product Hub (product information management).
Coming into the internship, Tiffany was mainly interested in learning about product management and utilizing my design and technical skills. “The amazing thing with these projects was that I got the chance to do the same things that a real product manager at Oracle would do. I took on full responsibility for researching and documenting the requirements and specs, and control over what I wanted the UI to look like.”
